Meet Dr. Eddie Crittendon
Veterinarian
Dr. Eddie "Dr. C" Crittendon is a South Carolina native who has dedicated his career to providing compassionate, high-quality care for small animals across the state. He grew up in Calhoun Falls, SC, and earned his Bachelor of Science in Zoology from Clemson University in 1987 before going on to receive his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from the University of Georgia in 1991. Growing up in a small town instilled in him a deep appreciation for the close-knit, family-oriented feel of a community-something he values and strives to foster in the relationships he builds with his clients and their pets.
Following veterinary school, Dr. C practiced in Mt. Pleasant and Aiken, SC, gaining valuable experience before settling in the Upstate. In May 2001, he founded Paw Prints Animal Hospital in a small strip mall, building it from the ground up. By December 2004, the practice had grown into its current, full-service facility, where Dr. C continues to serve the community with dedication and pride. Dr. C has a special passion for surgery, ophthalmology, and orthopedics, and enjoys the challenge and reward of improving his patients' quality of life through these areas of medicine. He is known for his practical approach, surgical skill, and commitment to treating each pet as if it were his own.
Outside of the clinic, Dr. C enjoys spending time with his wife, Mary, their two married adult children, and their granddaughter. He especially values time spent with his entire family, including extended family. Their home is shared with two dogs and a few chickens, adding to the lively family atmosphere. In his free time, he and Mary enjoy working in the yard, attending Clemson sporting events, spending time with family, and relaxing along the South Carolina coast.
